The agency that represents Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessie has rebuffed in no uncertain terms the transfer links of the player to Inter.

Responding to recent reports suggesting that the Ivorian former AC Milan midfielder could make the switch to the Nerazzurri in the summer, the player’s agency Ambition Sports Group branded the transfer rumours as “fake news.”

Kessie has been linked with a possible return to Serie A to play for his former club Milan’s city rivals by recent reports in Italian and Spanish media.

The fact that the 26-year-old has not found regular playing time at the Camp Nou since making the switch on a free transfer from the Rossoneri in the summer has led to suggestions that he could seek a move away to a club where he would play more.

However, Kessie’s agency have moved to sharply deny the reports that suggest that the former Milan midfielder could make the switch to Inter

They posted on Instagram with the caption, “The transfer market is over, yet we still hear the fake news!!”
